If the local god was able to eat even a single portion of this immortal quality dish, then his body that could not condense properly would finally become solid, allowing his body to go up a level.
Just like that, the worth of the immortal quality dish was now precious in his eyes

Old man are you willing to trade three portions of Fortune Tea for one portion of this immortal quality dish?

After pondering, the local god gritted his teeth and took out the tea leaves in his collection to exchange for it.
Wei Xiao Bei did not say anything, causing the local god to glare at him and specifically say,
This is not normal Fortune Tea! This is rare quality Fortune Tea!



Although the local god did not explain anything, Wei Xiao Bei understood what the local god considered as rare quality Fortune Tea. It should be the tea leaves that he had especially consecrated on the main temple hall’s incense burner table.
These tea leaves had been soaked by the Local God Temple’s divine power day and night. Its effects were without a doubt several times that of the Fortune Tea he had drunk.
However, Wei Xiao Bei did not respond to his attempts at negotiation, forcing the local god into a hard position. He only smiled, took out a bowl from the stove top and lightly waved his hand on top of it, immediately causing congee to appear in it.
After Wei Xiao Bei handed over the congee, the local god finally understood.
Wei Xiao Bei was not really aiming for any kind of exchange, but he wanted him to understand how truly precious this bowl of congee was and let him have this favor.
This was indeed Wei Xiao Bei’s plan. Although his relationship with the local god was more intimate compared to before, it was still far from the level that Wei Xiao Bei wanted.
As previously said, other stronger land gods were simply impossible to get in touch with.
On the other hand, this local god was much more suitable to befriend.
There was no doubt that if both of them were to form an unbreakable bond, there were a lot of benefits for both of them. It now depended on whether the local god agreed.
After understanding this, the local god immediately calculated things.


There were some things that Wei Xiao Bei did not understand that the local god completely understood.
The local god needed to weigh the merits and demerits of such a relationship.
Something like judging the benefits was simple for the local god.
Since the local god was pondering for quite a bit, Wei Xiao Bei was doubting if he did the right thing or not. The local god finally opened his mouth,
One portion is not enough! This old man demands five portions!

Five portions!

Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes widened to the point of popping out.
The price of five portions was truly a bit too high for Wei Xiao Bei.
However, the local god’s next words made Wei Xiao Bei sincerely give it up.

This old man knows that little brother Wei lives in the world of yang. If you want to ally with me, I can provide little brother Wei with many benefits!

Wei Xiao Bei immediately understood that the local god was a wise person that had already seen through his thoughts. Moreover, the local god was essentially an aboriginal of the Dust World. His understanding of things was definitely deeper than his!


In short, he was the guide of the Dust World that he had been lacking all this time!
With a guide, his time in the Dust World would become much more efficiently used.
Wei Xiao Bei stopped hesitating and immediately poured out four more bowls of congee.
The local god placed the congee away and did not rush to eat it. Then he led Wei Xiao Bei to sit down in the main hall.

This place is safer. Under this god’s divine barrier, no normal existence could listen in on our conversation.

The local god’s words made Wei Xiao Bei understand the importance of someone well-acquainted with the Dust World.
Things like eavesdropping were also quite common in the real world, let alone the Dust World.
It was very clear that the local god’s next words could not be heard by anybody else, and perhaps if word got out it would implicate him.
Afterward, the local god opened his mouth and spat out a piece of paper covered in a decorative design.
This is a Taoist talisman!


Wei Xiao Bei was not unknowledgeable and quickly understood what the paper was.
After spitting out the talisman, the local god immediately pointed at it, causing a red halo to float up from around the talisman. Then, the decorative design on the talisman turned into golden lines that appeared extremely mysterious.

This talisman is created from my divine power. I call it the Life and Death Talisman! I understand that little brother Wei has an ability that can inspect things, you can take a look at it.

The local god smiled. His words made Wei Xiao Bei shiver.
It was clear that his [Status Appraisal]’s usage was not something that could be hidden from other people.
With a smile, Wei Xiao Bei did not hide it anymore and used [Status Appraisal] on the talisman.
This time it was different from how nothing happened when he previously used it. When the [Status Appraisal] landed on the talisman, it shone with white light.
Luckily, the white light did not have any influence on the [Status Appraisal] as the talisman’s information appeared in his head.
Name: Life and Death Talisman

Description: This item is created from a local god’s divine power. It has the special effect of concluding a life and death contract.


Effect 1: Once the contract is accomplished, the life span of both parties become the same. When one party dies, the other party will lose its soul.

The talisman only had one effect, to conclude a life and death agreement.
Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes thinned.
Fuck!

I only wanted a simple alliance, but this old man actually pulled out something like a life and death contract!
In truth, when Wei Xiao Bei saw a trace of complacency in the local god’s eye, he became slightly angry.
Just when he was about to truly get angry, he had come back to his senses as he felt that he was too impulsive.
Precise calculation activate!

Following the activation of [Precise Calculation], Wei Xiao Bei had arranged the things inside his head.
Wei Xiao Bei suddenly became excited as his eyes shone with understanding.
He laughed and extended his hand to take the Life and Death Talisman without any hesitation.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei about to grab the talisman the local god revealed a bit of admiration.
When Wei Xiao Bei’s right hand touched the talisman, the red halo surrounding the talisman immediately disappeared, while the strange golden lines crawled up his arms like sea snakes toward his heart.
The golden light slowly disappeared, becoming a strange portrait on his chest. Once the golden light disappeared, it became hard to see the portrait unless one looked at it closely.
Wei Xiao Bei looked at it blankly and understood the portrait.
Fuck! The portrait is the face of the local god but a bit abstract due to the undulation of my chest 
.
However, if people close to the local god saw this, wouldn’t I become a laughing stock?

What’s the meaning of this?

Wei Xiao Bei ignored the information flowing into his mind as he glared at the local god.

This is very normal.

What made Wei Xiao Bei even more flabbergasted was that the local god stripped his upper half after throwing these words.

What are you doing?
It took a while for Wei Xiao Bei to come to his senses again. He began to think that the local god had become perverted after living so long and wanted to do perverted things to him!
Wei Xiao Bei’s muscles tensed up at the thought of it.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei taking precautions, the local god could not help but confusedly ask,
I want you to look here. How did your thoughts wander to there?

Wei Xiao Bei finally noticed that his mind could actually link with the local god’s. Whatever the local god thought of, he would know, and vice versa.
Originally, the local god wanted him to look at his chest. Now, he had made a huge fool of himself and let the other party know his thoughts. Wei Xiao Bei could not help but blush a bit wishing that he could knock his own head to death.
Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei’s face was thick enough that he could forcefully calm his heart. He then took a look at the local god’s chest and noticed a faint golden line on it.
With his previous experience, Wei Xiao Bei was able to quickly tell what it was.
It was also a portrait, but this time it was his.
It might look abstract, but it was truly his!

This is one of the distinct characteristics of the life and death talisman,
said the local god calmly.
He once again wore his clothes properly and covered up his chest. The entire process appeared as simple as if he was drinking tea.
However, Wei Xiao Bei had already understood the full effects of the life and death talisman.
When the contract had gone into effect, Wei Xiao Bei felt a strange sense of pleasure lifting up his body. It passed through his mind and provided him with information. He had understood that this pleasure came from sharing the same life span. Since the life span of the local god far surpassed his, a portion of it was given to him.
Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei did not gain any increase in power, but his lifespan had been extended to more than 1000 years!
This was the inside information about the land gods!
Moreover, their minds were now linked. As long as they did not block each other, their thoughts would be transmitted to the other.
This was the most important thing. As allies tied in life and death, being able to easily transmit information to the other made it easier for the other to provide support.
Naturally, from his short exchange with the local god, Wei Xiao Bei understood that the land gods were very strong in their own territories, but this identity had also limited them.
As a land god, the most important thing is to never leave the land that they governed, otherwise they would immediately lose their position and become wandering spirits.
This meant that it would be hard for the local god to provide Wei Xiao Bei with assistance.
Even if Wei Xiao Bei wanted to come to the local god’s temple, things would not be so simple.
Facing this problem, the local god smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was not a problem as he only needed a bit of time.
The local god did not divulge how he would deal with this problem, but Wei Xiao Bei did not try to get to the heart of the matter.
Next, the local god helped Wei Xiao Bei answer some of his questions.
